About This Listing

The Moog Source is a  Z80 -controlled  manufactured by  from 1981 to 1985. The Source was Moog's first synthesizer to offer patch memory storage. The design was also the first (and only) Moog synthesizer to feature a flat-panel  to replace the standard buttons, knobs and sliders, along with multihued panel graphics that were very different from anything Moog offered at the time. Sound wise it is considered to sound more like the original Moog Minimoog than any other synthesizer made by Moog and was introduced as its replacement. Though  at the time, the membrane panels may malfunction after extended use if one uses fingernails or abuses the panel. The membrane panel actually only needs a light touch and will usually remain reliable if not abused.

In addition to the memory capable of holding 16 presets, the Source features a 37-note , and two  that can be selected among three  and three . Programmed presets can be saved to an audio  interface to free up the onboard memory for additional new patches. The 24dB/octave  has parameters for keyboard tracking, cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope amount. There are two  envelope generators that can be set in single or multi trigger modes, one for the VCF and one for the . For , the Source features  and . The unit also features a rudimentary . The Source was made in at least 2 versions the latter offering more voltage control options. A modification offered by Encore Electronics offers the addition of MIDI, increased memory and more sequence storage.

The instrument was used extensively by the band  on their 1981 album , and the band also appeared in early print ads for the keyboard.
